What is it All About ?  ~Tink & Poo~

 Tink and Poo here. We was thinking it is about time for us to write all you good people about our thoughts on this here thing you call Christmas. We notice some people are sour on about every thing up till about this time of year. Then they change and start acting more friendly toward one another.  So we got to doing some more reading. We read about every thing we could find in the books on the human habits. Nothing seemed to give us a answer.

Poo said you know I wonder could it be in that big black leather covered book. So we got into that thing. Now we have done a lot of heavy reading for the last few weeks, But we sure learned a lot in that book.

We figured it was about some people that God called his chosen people. Now these people had some good times, also some rough times. Seem like they turned their backs on God's plain more then once. Every time they did so things after a bit, they were in deep [as Dollie says Doo Doo]trouble.

These ups and downs goes on all the ways in this book. They wanted a king, so they got a king. Now at first they had a good one, then after a while they started getting a rotten apple for a king. Then maybe a good one for a few years. Every time they had a good king things seemed to be better. Then a rotten apple king. Things hit rock bottom.

Then we read that they were over ran by this tribe of people at some parts in this book. Well this happened many a time. They once again were crying that they needed a king to lead them out of these dark days. A war type of king. A man with a big sword.

Funny how people are always asking for things, Most of them never get what they ask for, but in looking back they got what they needed.

Any ways we got to the part that said end. But there is more. This more says "New" Well we get in the new, thinking maybe this was the last few years

We read about this older man and his new young bride. Well she wasn't just yet new bride. Guess they were in the planning stage. You know he may have placed the big rock on her finger, but the knot wasn't tight yet. She must have been about 21, maybe 18, we don't know. But

she was of noble birth, guess he was too. The book says they were from the line of King David. Now both were poor as Job's turkey. Both were as pure as the driven snow. Anyways she was with child. A not married girl, and with child. This is a thing that he could have walked away from, wasn't his child. But God sent a angel to tell him to marry the girl. This is a special event. A once in a forever event. Her name was Mary, what a beautiful name. His name was Joseph.

Well people the child came into this world we are told in a very humble place. The child grew up. The book don't tell us a whole lot. We guess it tells us what we need to know, and no more.

We read that this man went forth and talked, preached, and did a lot of healing of the sick, lame, and restoring eye sight to some.

We also know he had large groups of people to hear him. The leaders of these people grew frighten of what he was doing. They was still looking for the King with the sword. All this man was doing was talking about the Kingdom of Heaven. Something about he was the light, the way and so on to the Kingdom of Heaven. Nuts they wanted a sword man. This man talked peace, good will toward others, nothing about a sword.

Well when this man became too big a thorn in these so called preachers side. They could no longer stand it. They got the Roman flunkie to hold a trial of this man. In the end he was hung on a cross to die. Well we read all this.

We also read that he rose from the dead. And we also read he is alive and is today the center of a religion called Christian. All that believe on him will never die. Guess they die a earth death, but the soul goes to heaven to be with him.

Now we started to write about this time of year. Christmas time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Christmas was all year long. People would do unto others like they would like to be done unto?

Merry Christmas one and all from Tink and Poo.

Bob, this is out of my Tinker and Poo doggie stories.  I read where a man one time wrote. Dogs work at being Christian 7 days a week, where as lots of so called Christian are one hour a week Christians.  Sometimes I think he was so right.

We do lose sight that as you say.  Jesus is the reason for the season.
